I am a woman, a child inside at times, a mother, a sister, a daughter, an aunt, a good friend and an enemy to be contended with. Like any woman, I am a total bitch when needed. I am respectful of others and appreciate the same in return. There are a lot of people on here who have no respect for themselves nor anyone else. Meeting people is enjoyable, but I am not into the cam shit or talking trash...if that's your reason for coming to my page, seek out someone else, cause I'm not the one. I'm a natural-born hippie and I thrive on Rock 'n Roll music. Like nearly everyone these days, I have overcome a lot of shit in my life. Abuse and addiction being the hardest. I do not attend meetings, never found them helpful...but that's me. I'm a nurse by profession, though art is my passion. Painting and drawing brings me solace. My preferred medium is graphite and drawing portraits is my strongest talent. Peace with one's self is the key to real happiness. I have found that always doing what I feel is right has helped me to maintain my inner peace.

I AM NOT A MAN-HATER by no means. But having overcome abuse as a child and as a woman, I take a serious stance against violence to women and children...and for men for that matter. It is difficult for me to turn a blind eye to the victims of these crimes and I have no problem speaking out against it. If you are reading this and you have a cycle of abuse in your life, whether you are the victim or the abuser, PLEASE draw the line and seek the help that's out there. It will end somewhere and it could cost a life.

DENIAL IS NOT JUST A RIVER IN EGYPT!! Don't lie to yourself. See it and believe it. This is what is happening to you if you are in an abusive relationship. If your abuser does one of the following things:

1.) Hit, punch, slap, shove, bite or harm you in any way physically 2.) Threaten to hurt you or your children 3.) Threaten to hurt friends or family members 4.) Have sudden outbursts of anger or rage 5.) Behave in an overprotective manner 6.) Become jealous without reason 7.) Prevent you from seeing family or friends 8.) Prevent you from going where you want, when you want, without repercussions 9.) Prevent you from working or attending school 10.) Destroy personal property or sentimental items 11.) Deny you access to family assets such as bank accounts, credit cards, or the car 12.) Control all finances and force you to account for what you spend 13.) Force you to have sex against your will 14.) Force you to engage in sexual acts you do not enjoy 15.) Insult you or call you derogatory names 16.) Use intimidation or manipulation to control you or your children 17.) Humiliate you in front of your children or peers 18.) Turn minor incidents into major arguments 19.) Abuse or threaten to abuse pets 20.) Harassment

NOBILITY IS NOT A BIRTHRIGHT, IT'S DEFINED BY ONE'S ACTIONS.
